Chapter 8: Cleaning Up Chaos

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Now that all of the six had finally decided to work together for the time being, they must come up with a strategy on how to resolve the situation at hand. So far, Wintergreen suggests that they should clean up the upside down, sideways, out of control world that Discord had created, Blue Flash insists that they should find Discord and take him down, Madam Krystal and Solara decide that they should all find Celestia and Luna first before taking care of the rest and for their own safety. They kept on arguing back and forth about their individual strategies and it was going nowhere, as they continued arguing, the White Knight grew eve more irritated by the second. And just as he was about to explode on them, the Dragon prince suggests that as a team of six, they should split up into twos. First team should clean up the worldly mess, second team should find Celestia and Luna, and third team can find and take on Discord. After hearing the prince's strategy, White Knight thought that this was the best strategy ever heard, although White Knight makes a slight change to the plan.

And so he tries to get everyone's attention so they can hear the plan. "All right fellas, listen up! The Dragon has a really good plan that will benefit all of us. We are about to split this team into twos; Wintergreen and Merlon, you two clean up the huge mess Discord caused. Krystal and Solara, you two do whatever you can to find the girls and get them out of harm's way, we'll follow you. and Blue Flash..." After he said Blue Flash's name, he looks directly at him with a serious look on his face. While Blue Flash looked at White Knight with a big smile on his face waiting on what the White Knight has in store for him, White Knight says to the Blue Flash in a serious tone; "...you and I are gonna take Discord head on while Krystal and Solara save the girls."

So now the plan is put into motion, Merlon and Wintergreen stayed behind to figure out how their going to restore the world back to it's natural order, Krystal and Solara set out to find the girls in every part of the world, and as for Blue Flash, prince and White Knight... they went to follow Solara and Krystal so they can find Discord and teach him a lesson for messing up the world. And then there's Twilight, who so happens to follow the White Knight and the others, although she is pretty excited that he and all of his friends are all now working together to bring peace and balance to the world, rescue her mentor; Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

And on a top note; defeat the evil Discord by imprisoning him in stone in the process. That's how she and her friends stopped him when he was free, that's how Celestia and Luna stopped him when they had their battles, and that's how White Knight and his team are going to stop him.

"Don't worry, Celestia, Luna. I promise, I will save the both you, and after all of this is over... ...we will be together again, I'll make sure of that." Said the White Knight in a calm and quiet tone.


Now focusing on Merlon Magic and Wintergreen the Wise, the two are trying to figure a way on how to clean up this huge mess without any difficulties. At the moment, there are many ponies who are running, flying, flipping and rolling around like crazy. The animals are dancing, having tea, wearing clothes, riding ponies and conversing with one another. It was outrageous for Wintergreen to witness first-hand, and as for Merlon... he tries to figure a way on how to put everything else back to it's original order without creating another mess that will be seemingly impossible to clean up. Merlon reaches for his broken horn, takes a look at it and thinking; "Do I really need to use magic to fix this mess?"

Merlon had kept thinking about whether to use his horn again, since he hasn't used it in a long time. But of course, he needs his horn to perform his magic, so he re-attaches his horn back to his head and used his magic to seal the crack. Then he pulls out one of his spell books to find a good spell to use to clean up the Earth of the chaotic residue that Discord had created, and while he's doing that, Wintergreen has come up with a plan to calm the entire ponies and animals of their madness. His plan is to whistle a lullaby to the whole world, that way, after he finishes whistling the lullaby, all of the ponies and the animals will fall into a deep sleep.

So, as Wintergreen begins to whistle out a tune, the song he's whistling begins to reach out to the animal's ears, as well as the Earth ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi. The song was so loud, it can actually reach the entire world, it's drawing out to the everyone and everything, except for Merlon. And as for the other four, they don't seem to be affected by Wintergreen's lullaby song, although it did seem to be putting the dragon prince to sleep and it would seem that the song doesn't appear to affect Twilight. And that's only because she's an astral projection, anything inside Celestia's dreams or White Knight's dreams, will not affect her in any way. And as for the others, it will not affect them because the whistling tune was aimed directly at all the other ponies and animals, except for White Knight and the rest of the team. Even the White Knight said it himself;

"Even though Wintergreen's lullabies can make anyone and anything go to a deep sleep, just remember... Wintergreen needs to picture somepony in his head in order to put to sleep. So what he did, is picture the whole world, but he left visions of us out of his mind. So that way, we don't fall asleep to his tunes."

As the gang were still on their way to finding their target, they head for a detour because they need to find a place for the dragon prince while he's sleeps. So white Knight suggests he'd find a small hut, he lands on the ground, while the others wait for him to return. He searches every part of land only to find a hut in plain sight, he walked the extra mile only to find a place for the prince to sleep and on top of that, the prince was still on the White Knight's back sleeping.

White turns to his back, sees the prince just sleeping like a baby and thinks to himself that it's cute to witness. (It is really adorable, just seeing sleep. I wonder what he dreams about...)

White Knight eventually finds a hut 14 paces northeast, so he rushes over there, checks to see if anypony was around and then goes inside to see what was in store. While inside, he finds a really good spot for the prince to nap on so he walks over there, calmly and carefully places the dragon prince into little spot, gives him a sheet to cover him for in case he gets cold. Afterwards, White Knight tells him a proper good night; "All right, prince... I'm gonna be gone for a bit, so you stay put and get a good night sleep. Sweet dreams." And then he leaves the hut without making a sound. Afterwards, he flies back up to the sky and tells the gang;

All right, after we're done with Discord, you guys go back for the little dragon and bring him to me. All right, let's keep moving. And so, the gang then proceeded to get back on track in locating Discord and rescue the girls.

As the whistling lullaby was still going, it would seem that everypony and every living creature was falling asleep, and the lullaby was so loud that it even reached the north, where Discord was hiding. Discord was sitting on his throne watching the chaos all over the world, but the song had reached his ears and began to doze off to the song slowly. Discord was trying his hardest to keep his eyes open and keep his neck up, but the song kept beating him, making him close his eyes and lower his neck. No matter how much he tried to shake his head or slap himself in the face to stay awake, the song got into him, relaxing all of his muscles, closed his eyes and went to sleep. "Yawn. ahh, nighty-night." As he began sleeping, he began to snore aloud and simply dozed off into slumber land, where all is fun in slumber land.


Meanwhile, back at the usual spot where Wintergreen and Merlon was at. Wintergreen was just finished with his whistling lullaby, then he turns directly to Merlon while he had pulled out a yawn because the song tired him out too, he tells him that it's his turn to do the cleaning up the Earth.

"Give me a second, will you?" cried out the short-tempered, screw loose sorcerer.

After looking at his books, Merlon found something that might actually restore everything back to the original order. So he closes his books, teleports them back to his old castle and begin to perform the spell. "Now sit tight, you old horse. This will only take a second." Merlon levitates himself to the sky, performs the Fail-Safe spell, shoots his beam unto the ground with great speed. And as the beam had landed on the ground, the beam had conjured a bright white flash that had expanded across the world. as the flash had covered all of the Earth, it had disappeared, leaving nothing but tiny bright lights floating in the air. The results of the Fail-Safe spell was excellent, but not successful. Even though everything is back to the way it was previously, the random acts of chaos began to grow again. Merlon knew that the Fail-Safe spell was a temporary solution, but the world had indeed settled down, although it won't be long until things start to get crazy again. Wintergreen takes a good look at the environment, to see if anything is back to the way it is.

"Well Merlon, I've got to say... you've really outdone yourself." complimenting on his work, Wintergreen was excited to see that everything was normal again and more importantly, his forest his safe. But Merlon tells Wintergreen that it's a little too soon to celebrate and makes him look at the ground just to show what he means. Wintergreen and Merlon look at the ground, flower buds were starting to grow, and then they began to bloom into popcorn flowers. That wasn't all, they went down to see that the river streams were full of moving rocks acting as water, and the water that Wintergreen picked up on the ground, was hard as rock. the water wasn't frozen as ice either, the water was exactly warm, but yet... it was hard as stone.

"I don't believe it, I thought you fixed everything, Merlon. Why's everything going all loopy again?" said Wintergreen in a tone of confusion.

Merlon replied to his question; "Wintergreen, my dear friend. You must understand this, even though I fixed the world with my Fail-Safe spell, I will admit to you that it wasn't 100% successful. Now, if you want this mess to be stopped, we need to go directly to the source of it all. That way, stuff like hard water, rock streams and dancing animals will never happen again."

"And where, pray tell... is the source of all this crazy shenanigans?" said a grumpy and upsetting Wintergreen.

"I noticed that there was stronger chaotic activity happening up in the north when I was using the spell. I think... that the north may be our source."

"The north huh? Well then, lets go meet up with the others and head straight for the north."

And so Merlon and Wintergreen began to fly off to go find White Knight and the others, and at the rate they're going, it will take hours to reach them. So Merlon asks Wintergreen to get closer to him so that they can be teleported to the White Knight's direction, Wintergreen didn't wanted to do it and therefore refused to do so because of one reason; he hates teleporting. Merlon believes that Wintergreen was being stubborn about not wanting to be teleported from one spot to the other, he even teased Wintergreen on how "afraid" he is about teleportation, which made Wintergreen not want to participate even more. And even though they were running out of time, Merlon convinces Wintergreen to teleport one time or else the world will re-enter into a state of chaos once again. Wintergreen was griping like a little colt, while at the same time; he was looking at the world getting out of hand again, and turning back to smiling Merlon. then he slowly shakes his head and says to himself;

"Ooooh, I just know I'm going to regret this." quietly said Wintergreen with pouted lips, stating that he was sulking at the idea of being teleported by Merlon.

Merlon and Wintergreen got together, then Merlon's horn began to glow dark purple with white sparkles, close his eyes, and then Wintergreen realizes that he was ready to do the spell, so he quickly grabs onto Merlon as he was about to teleport. But Merlon got interrupted when he got grabbed by Wintergreen and they disappeared in a bright flash.
